Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes Gets a Next-Gen Price Drop

In a press release, Konami announced today that the price of the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes has been lowered from $40 to $30 for both retail and digital copies of the game.

Konami is dropping the price with the hope to "provide as many people as possible an opportunity to experience Kojima Productions’ FOX Engine and the first installment in the two-part METAL GEAR SOLID V experience."

It was also revealed that those who purchase a first-run copy of the game will receive exclusive DLC for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain once it's released. The DLC will give players additional resources for their Mother Base which is introduced in Ground Zeroes, and will be an integral part of The Phantom Pain. Additionally, any VIP's or POW's captured in Ground Zeroes will carry over to The Phantom Pain.

Finally, it was announced that the game will feature a "Second-screen iDROID app, which replicates Big Boss’ in-game communication/map device. Downloadable via iOS, Android and Xbox Smart Glass systems for free, the iDROID app syncs the main action to a secondary device. Users can call up maps, summon air support, or play any of the cassette tapes found throughout Camp Omega."
